About
The Cascadas de Juan Curí, also known as the Juan Curí Waterfalls, are a series of waterfalls in the Vereda Curití, near Charalá in the department of Santander, Colombia. Together they fall more than 180 meters through dense tropical vegetation, which gives the setting a green and cool character that suits a day outdoors.
What to expect
The site is best known as a destination for adventure sports, and rappelling is among the activities visitors come for. Because the falls are spread over a long drop rather than a single cascade, the walk and the views change as you move along the route, and each stretch of water looks different from the last.
- A series of waterfalls descending over 180 meters
- Lush tropical vegetation along the way
- A popular spot for rappelling and other adventure sports
Planning a visit
Charalá is the nearest town to reference when you plan your trip, and the falls sit in its rural surroundings, so the journey is part of the outing. If you intend to rappel or take part in any organised activity, it is sensible to contact the site beforehand. The listed number is +57 311 4567890. Conditions on a rural trail can vary, so wear sturdy footwear and bring water and rain protection.
For visitors who enjoy natural scenery and active days out, the Cascadas de Juan Curí offer a full day in the Santander countryside, where the sound of falling water and the surrounding forest are the main attractions.
